There will be a Dark Souls 2 Beta

If you don’t have a PS3, now might be the time to get one.

Dark Souls 2 is one of my most anticipated games of next year, but it seems like I may not have to wait until March 2014 to play it. A Dark Souls 2 Beta was confirmed today.

From Software and Namco Bandai have confirmed that a Dark Souls 2 beta test will be coming on October 5th, 2013. Before you get too excited, they have also confirmed that it will be available exclusively on the Playstation Network and the PS3.

To get in on the beta test, watch the Dark Souls 2 official Facebook page beginning on September 5th to see how you can register. The beta will focus on one of the “most treacherous areas” in the game and will also allow for some amount of exploration.
